Being General's Wife
Chapters 16. First Night

(Starting this chapter Celine/Han Cya Lin/Crown princess and Zhou Ming/General Zhou/Crown Prince)

The residence of General~

After the wedding, the Crown Prince (General Zhou) insists on returning to his residence. He rides a horse. While Celine's in the car. It's the exact same scene in the novel.

The train stopped in front of the gate of the General's residence. Celine moved on the bridal stretcher straight to the General's main room. Zhou Ming headed straight for his study. There seems to be work that cannot be delayed.

Half an hour Celine sat quietly on the edge of the bed. He remembered what scene was about to happen. However, the story has strayed far from the original novel, but she needs references in order to take appropriate action.

Based on the novel, after entering the room, General Zhou tries to obtain the rights of his first night as a husband. Han Cya Lin rejected him frankly. It even said the crown prince was unfit for her, praised her brother-in-law, prince Zhang, and lamented the arranged marriage arranged by the late former empress aka General Zhou's mother.

Celine's face paled instantly. Celine doesn't know Prince Zhang, she won't discuss it here. But the original owner was definitely not a human. He even dared to say all that in front of General Zhou who could kill him at any time? He deserved to die. But please, he's playing a role here. Celine doesn't want to die in a novel. How will he face the General?

"Kreeks"

Suddenly the door opened. General Zhou entered the room. The door slowly closed again.

Instantly cold sweat dropped drop by drop on Celine's forehead. General Zhou's aura was so strong. The novel does not lie. Celine was silent over the situation and circumstances first.

Zhou Ming sat down near the dining table. There is green tea.

"Pour for me" Zhou Ming's clear and calm command sounded like a burden on Celine's shoulders.

Wordlessly Celine walked over next to Zhou Ming to pour some tea. His hands were trembling a little. Zhou Ming only silently watched.

'This woman seems to have changed a little. Not meeting for a few days I already knew if his weight was reduced a little bit Zhou Ming's heart commented.

Celine gave the green tea to Zhou Ming. After that he stood there. Just like a wooden statue.

Zhou Ming slowly sipped green tea. Slowly he lifted his head. Celine lowered her face still covered in a red veil.

Zhou Ming slowly stood up. They stood very close only separated by a distance of one inch. Slowly Zhou Ming's hand took off Celine's wedding veil. Stye face with smooth skin smooth visible redness.

'The makeup of his face is different from most women. But it looked fresh and attractive' a slight smile appeared on General Zhou's face.

Zhou Ming grabbed Celine's chin and found there a beautiful eyeball with a clear look in his eyes. He examined that face. The face that will accompany him will always be.

"You my wife is right?" Ask Zhou Ming.

Celine nodded.

"Never be afraid and submit to anyone. I will always protect you" Zhou Ming's gaze landed on Celine's cherry-red lips. Feeling the danger of Zhou Ming's gaze, Celine reflexively circulated her eyes to the side.

"Kruyuuukkk" the voice from Celine's stomach stopped that awkward atmosphere.

"Is General Zhou not hungry? The food was already prepared there" Celine pointed at the table beside the bed.

Zhou Ming looked at the woman in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched holding back the laughter.

After staring at Celine for a bit longer, Zhou Ming released his hand which was holding Celine's chin. General Zhou stepped onto the dining table. Lots of dishes there. Then they sit down. While serving General Zhou a meal, Celine tried to open the conversation.

"Mmmm General, can we get to know each other first, before acting more intimately. I mean we can start from making friends first" Celine tried to explain her point to General Zhou.

Zhou Ming put down his cutlery and looked up. He saw the beautiful face of his wife.

"I'm your husband, isn't it natural that we'd be more intimate?" Zhou Ming's smile made him look very handsome.

Zhou Ming noticed Celine's face turning like a boiled crab. Those sparkling eyes were emitting a nervous look now.

Zhou Ming's hand stroked the back of Celine's hand. Celine stiffened instantly. There was an electric shock from the touch of their hands. Celine immediately pulled out her hand.

"The husband and wife relationship must be based on love and trust. We just met the general. I mean servant, after the accident, the servant fell from the tree (read chapter 2), some of my memories are gone. Please General give the servant a little time" Celine said with a look at the glass on the table. Celine was afraid of the General's aura suppressing it.

If it does not explain now, the fear of the scene of forced marriage night General in the novel will be experienced as well. Celine doesn't want that to happen. Celine's life could end like Han Cya Lin's. Nooooo!!!!!!

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows "you mean?"

"Hamba beg the General not to force me until I am ready to do so" confidently Celine said as she looked into her husband's eyes.

'Heh, interesting. This woman is negotiating with me. Not instantly making a tantrum' a slight smile seemed as fierce as present on Zhou Ming's thin lips.

"Alright I won't force you. But allow me to touch and embrace you" General Zhou said openly and honestly.

Celine gawking. His face was more red than before. General why so frankly, is not the ancient times more conservative. It seems like the novelist wants to portray a General who is open and honest with his wife. But it's embarrassing anyway. Celine was ashamed of herself. Celine lowered her head, focused on her food, to relieve her embarrassment.

After eating, they prepare for sleep. After leaving the bathroom Celine stood glued to see General Zhou waiting for her on the bed.

"Come here" while patting the empty space next to him Zhou Ming waved at Celine.

Celine gulped nervously.

'Just move. He will not violate his own words. He was a great General' The angelic mind of Celine persuaded him.

With a strengthening heart and steps like a robot Celine walked slowly to an empty spot beside her husband.

As soon as Celine was about to lay down her body, a hand grabbed her and held her in an embrace. Celine immediately broke up. But a voice made him stop moving.

"My wife, let me hold you as long as you're not ready. I'll be waiting for you. Trust me" Zhou Ming softly said, as he dyed his hair.

With a stiff body Celine was silent in Zhou Ming's embrace. Finally after holding Zhou Ming's hand for so long, Celine fell asleep and fell asleep. The complicated wedding event made him tired so that his sleep was more sound. They slept together until morning.

The next morning Celine awoke the sound of birds chirping from a tree beside the General's room window. He turned his head and did not find General Zhou beside him.

To Celine's surprise, she felt her clothes fall apart. He remembers not doing it last night. But why are his clothes falling apart? That general, what is he doing???
